PLYMOUTH — The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend staff's findings on the Plymouth Harbor boat ramp rebuild. The state-led project at 185 Water St. includes a new seawall topped at 11.5 feet, drainage replacement and a ramp extension. Michael Count of the state Office of Fishing and Boating Access said the award is scheduled for Nov. 17 and completion for April 15, 2028, with about half of roughly 100 parking spaces usable in summer.
The town harbormaster called the January 2024 flood "eye-opening." Earlier, the board approved two Form A plans and Use Area 18 covenants and plan endorsements for ADM Agawam Development LLC. Staff also said the town won a Community One-Stop grant to update the inclusionary zoning bylaw.
